The Golden Hinde under sail off Catalina Island in
Southern California. The kind of sailing we live for.

Steering the Golden Hinde. The original ship had a whipstaff, and not a wheel, but that's a little too accurate to be practical.
|
 |
 |
Future wife Lisa steering the Golden Hinde (and
clearly not being as attentive as the author). And, we just noticed, wearing a shirt she stole from the author.
|
| The gun deck (and crew quarters) of the Golden Hinde.
On the original ship, sixty or so men would have lived in that tight place.
On the replica, around twelve lived there.

A cold early morning deck wash on board Rose.

| On the Rose's quarterdeck, coming into San Juan, P.R.

|
 |
A broken main yard on board the Rose. A combination
of a sudden squall and a patch of rotten wood.
|
| Coiling down the mizzen gear aboard Rose. Bill on the
helm is single-handedly sheeting in the spanker. This is before the spanker
boom was added.
